Is regulation of body temperature a major function of the cardiovascular system?
Yes, temp. regulation is a function of the Cardiovascular system but also the Integumentary system. The blood distributes heat created by muscle contraction to the rest of the body. Blood vessels in the skin dilate when body temperature rises and constrict when heat needs to be conserved. In this way, the integumentary system plays a key role in regulating body temperature.
